…Except it was more like a two day excursion into hell. Rather than explain, I think I'll try something new. Hey, timeline!
4/18 Friday
9:30am - Woken up by friend. Sore throat, thought nothing of it. Late to Calculus.
11:30am - Lunch
1:00pm - Arrive back home. Friend is with me, we watch some anime.
4:00pm - Headache. Feels like imminent fever, too.
5:00pm - Take friend home.
6:00pm - Tylenol, water, bed.
8:00pm - Mommy comes home. Fever is full-on raging, whatever that means. She does what she can, but gets tied up when one of her friends call her.
10:00pm - Temperature is taken. 98.9. That doesn't seem right. Rather than re-measure, mommy takes it as-is. Whatever. Too sick to care.
10:30pm ~ (Cont. to next day.)
4/19 Saturday
~ 8:00am - Random bouts of waking up, sweating, discomfort, stabbing pain in head, etc.
9:00am - Can't sleep anymore. Get up, attempt to eat. Dear mom is on phone again, have prepare food solo. Realized there's too much food. Feeling better than the previous night, at least. Measure temperature… it's 99.8. Knew that last night's measurement was faulty.
10:00am - After an hour of attempting to write an entry, it isn't happening. Tired again. Go to sleep.
11:30am - Friend calls. Still up for orchestra concert? Sadly, no. Back to sleep.
12:00pm - Mom returns with some Alka-Seltzer. Turns out our Tylenol was expired. Fever's been going down, Alka-Seltzer really does a number on that headache. Able to have a relatively pleasant sleep. (Except for waking up randomly in cold sweats.)
4:00pm - Wake up, relatively refreshed. Need to avoid shaking head or going up/downstairs, it will cause a headache. Manage to finish Chi's Sweet Home 9.
7:00pm - Dinner. Wasn't too hungry.
9:00pm - Gaming over Hamachi with a friend for a bit. Stopped at 11.
12:00am - Sleep.
4/20 Sunday
1:30pm - Wake up.
2:00pm - Funny thing about being sick. You sure fall into it quickly, but it takes forever to get out. Needless to say, took around half an hour to even feel remotely capable of functioning normally. Dig out leftovers, lunch.
3:00pm - Writing this entry. Probably prepared too much food again, it's still sitting next to the computer.
So that's how my weekend went. Surfing in the Bahamas is great.
Expect anywhere from 4 - 9 entries before the end of today. I'm not at 100% recovery yet. 97% is good enough, though.
Speaking of which,

You have my sympathy. I’m nursing a nasty, headachey cold myself right now. Hooray for paracetamol.

I’m at where you were on Friday-Saturday, minus the fever…wooooo
April 20th, 2008 at 5:21 pm
That sounds like what I had last week. Crazy. I’m glad you’re feeling a little better though. Take it easy.
April 20th, 2008 at 9:05 pm
Mske sure you take care of yourself and get back to 100%. lol We can’t have the star out.

Thanks for the sympathies everyone. I drugged myself as much as possible so that I could get going to that concert, but it didn’t happen. Boo.
